How to Read Long Articles Without Eye Strain
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
For long reads, open Chrome's Reading mode from the side panel and pick a comfortable font size, line spacing and color theme. Keep your screen brightness close to the room's light, press Space to move a screen at a time instead of scrolling constantly, and follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. If bright pages bother you, a dark mode such as Modern Dark Mode helps.
